技術分野
本発明は、液晶表示用の液晶組成物およびこれを用いる液晶表示素子に関する。さらに詳しくは、スーパーツイステッドネマチック(STN)方式の液晶表示用のネマチック液晶組成物およびこれを用いる液晶表示素子に関する。
背景技術
近年の情報機器、特に携帯用端末機器の発達に伴い、従来のCRT並みの表示容量と表示品質をもち、小型、薄型、かつ低消費電力の表示素子に対する要求が高くなってきている。このため現在は表示方式としてスーパーツイステッドネマチック(STN)方式を用いた液晶表示が主流となっている。この方式は、1984年にシェーファー(T. J. Scheffer)らによって提案されたものであり、従来液晶表示として広く使われていたねじれ角が90度のツイステッドネマチック(TN)方式の限界を打ち破った画期的なものである。即ち、ねじれ角を180〜270度の間に設定することにより、液晶セルの複屈折効果を利用して、90度のTN方式よりもかなり良好なコントラストと広い視野角がえられること、並びにデューティ数を拡大しても(〜1/480デューティ)表示品質の低下を伴わないことが報告されている(例えば、T. J. Schefferら:Appl.Phys.Lett.,45(1984)1021参照)。
現在、このSTN方式に使われる液晶材料に求められている課題としては、高コントラストを得るために電気光学特性が急峻であること、高速応答性を得るために粘性が低いこと、バックライトの熱分布の影響による表示ムラのない均一な表示画面を得るためにしきい値電圧の温度依存性が小さいこと(そのためにはNI転移温度が高いこと)、あるいはパネルの組立などの工程で取り込まれた異物などによる表示画面の表示ムラ並びに長時間点灯により生じる表示画面の焼き付き(残像)現象などの表示不良をなくすために電圧保持率が低いこと、またパネル製造の歩留まりを上げるためにd/pマージンが広いこと(そのためにはプレティルトが高いこと)などが挙げられる。
発明の開示
しかしながら、今まで高コントラスト、低粘性についての液晶組成物は種々検討されているが(特開平5−125363号公報など参照)、満足する液晶組成物の調製は困難であった。本発明は高コントラスト、高速応答性、表示ムラのない均一な表示画面を兼ね備え、製造歩留まりの高い液晶表示素子および前記特性を実現せしめる液晶組成物を提供することを目的とする。

More specifically, the present invention relates to a nematic liquid crystal composition for liquid crystal display of a super twisted nematic (STN) system and a liquid crystal display element using the same.
BACKGROUND ART With the recent development of information equipment, particularly portable terminal equipment, there is an increasing demand for a display element that has a display capacity and display quality comparable to that of a conventional CRT, and that is small, thin, and has low power consumption. For this reason, at present, liquid crystal displays using the super twisted nematic (STN) system are the mainstream. This method was proposed by TJ Scheffer et al. In 1984 and breakthrough the twisted nematic (TN) method, which has a twist angle of 90 degrees, which has been widely used as a liquid crystal display. It is a thing. That is, by setting the twist angle between 180 and 270 degrees, the birefringence effect of the liquid crystal cell can be used to obtain a considerably better contrast and a wider viewing angle than the TN system of 90 degrees, and the duty cycle. It has been reported that increasing the number (˜1 / 480 duty) does not involve a reduction in display quality (see, for example, TJ Scheffer et al .: Appl. Phys. Lett., 45 (1984) 1021).
Currently, the liquid crystal materials used in this STN method are required to have a sharp electro-optic characteristic to obtain a high contrast, a low viscosity to obtain a high-speed response, and the heat of the backlight. In order to obtain a uniform display screen with no display unevenness due to the influence of distribution, the temperature dependence of the threshold voltage is small (for this purpose, the NI transition temperature is high), or foreign matter taken in in the process of panel assembly The voltage holding ratio is low in order to eliminate display defects such as display unevenness of the display screen due to the display and the burn-in (afterimage) phenomenon of the display screen caused by long-time lighting, and the d / p margin is increased to increase the yield of panel manufacturing. It is wide (for that purpose, pretilt is high).
